Comments: Sometimes things like this need to be done for thier own benefit. the farmers may kill them cruelly otherwise

Chloe F (Age 14) voted for No on Tuesday 23 October 2012

Comments: I think it is wrong to keep killing beautiful badgers. If this continues, we will loose some of the native animals that is our duty to look after them. If we keep killing them, they will be another animal close to extinction.

Freya P (Age 11) voted for No on Sunday 21 October 2012

Lydia B (Age 12) voted for No on Friday 19 October 2012

Sam F (Age 12) voted for No on Monday 15 October 2012

Comments: Otherwise we'll start losing all the badgers and then they'll get extinct!

Comments: No I think it is cruel to the badgers and a badger is my 3rd favourite animal!

Rosie D (Age 15) voted for Yes on Friday 12 October 2012

Comments: However much I hate to say it...maybe yes. It sounds mean but they are proven to carry it and so many cattle die of it each year, and their bodies are just incinerated.

Sophie R (Age 10) voted for No on Friday 12 October 2012

Comments: Why can't they just do injections on the cattle and badgers?

Niamh S (Age 13) voted for No on Friday 12 October 2012

Comments: Because that means there will be more people with guns, shooting badgers and everyone will see! Guns and killing living creatures are OK in books and films but in real life it is horrible!!!

Hannah D (Age 12) voted for Yes on Friday 12 October 2012

Comments: Yes because badgers are ruining the farmers crops and habitats for other farm animals. it's not really right but its best for one species of animal to be culled than a whole lot of farm animals to be wiped off a farm because of badgers.
